First, why the cloud track? Just like you must learn German to understand the culture of Germany and interact socially with people, I must learn the cloud language to be able to interact with cloud engineers. Cloud skills are in demand. No doubt about it. Why Microsoft AZ-900 exam? my company offers free vouchers to all employees as part of a big Microsoft partnership up-skill plan. Microsoft is the second largest public cloud provider in the market and is increasingly gaining market share and maybe could catch AWS one day. My Microsoft Certified Professional title expired with Windows XP (Rest In Peace). So a new Microsoft cert in my resume would be nice.

Many years ago I have been trying to build a better career, a better health, etc. and sacrificing family time. I used to negotiate with my wife the fact that I needed some time to myself. I needed to work harder, in order to achieve better results. However, I noticed that my relationship with my spouse and children was deteriorating. My wife started telling me that there is a bigger and bigger psychological gap between me and my older son. She also told me I was getting a “bit” more aggressive. She was right. I did not notice all of that. That’s normal, I was living inside my head for a long time. I focused my efforts on two areas, and neglected my family. I was taking my family’s happiness for granted. I was physically there but emotionally absent. Now I decided to change this. I decided to slow gears and focus on my family more than on my career. I even now refuse to change jobs if the new potential job role would not bring me the balance to enjoy family time. ...

I was looking for ways to increase my motivation to learn Anki flashcards. So I was browsing the internet in search of some popular extensions. I found Habitica . I downloaded the extension for Anki, created an account, configured the API in Anki and started using it. I think I am getting to like the tool a lot. I simply love the fact that achieving stuff helps me build an RPG character, which is rewarding in some way. Since I don’t have time to play video games – and while I was a big fan of video games in my teenage days – I feel like I am combining a past hobby with productive activity. The people behind Habitica are simply brilliant! Now, I am to progressively switch my tasks from Google Calendar to Habitica, because I like the fact that I am making my fictional character – the Habitican- earn some gold and experience, which will translate into equipment and magical potions. And I really like the Android app. It is completely ad-free and well designed: explor...

time tracking report April 2021 My sleeping time increase with a whopping 10%. One of the reasons is the two days where I got hypothermia. On each of those days I accounted an additional 3 hours at least, trying to recover my health. Job time (~22% of total tracked time), is almost the same duration as in March (24.7%) A lot more time with family (13% of total tracked time): I decided to involve my son when I go shopping. That way I can spend some quality time with him Since Ramadan started on April 13th, I dine with my family around the same table each night.

The first two weeks I started tracking time as usual with Boosted: Time tracker project duration report first two weeks Mar 2021 Then I was faced with the decision with either continuing using it, buying the full features, or searching something similar that is free and fulfills my requirements. That is how I found aTimeLogger . I customized it and used for the rest of my time tracking activities: Time tracker report mar 2021 When I will get bored I will probably post a tutorial on using it. Sleep time occupied 27.3% of total tracked time. An interesting observation: in March I ate for as much time as I studied for the Wireshark exam :)
